Non destructive digging, excavation and potholing…
What is it?
Non-destructive excavation, or potholing, is a highly effective method that uses high-pressure water to break up soil, creating a slurry that is then vacuumed into a tank.
This process, also known as vacuum excavation, combines high-pressure water and a vacuum system to break up soil quickly and precisely making it a highly effective method to expose and inspect underground infrastructure. It requires less backfill, labour, and restoration compared to conventional digging and has a minimal environmental impact, making underground services more accessible and visible while ensuring clean and accurate excavation.
Our non-destructive excavation services ensure that water networks, telecommunications, power, and gas lines are not unintentionally damaged. By employing non-destructive digging (NDD) techniques, Ready Group protects underground utilities, mitigating risks to the construction team and minimising service damage.
Using vacuum trucks reduces noise pollution and the overall environmental impact, keeping surrounding materials intact. This approach minimises costly repairs, service disruptions, and reduces the risk of accidents on-site. Our expertise in potholing ensures precise and accurate location of underground assets, giving construction professionals confidence to proceed without fear of damage. Not only is this method environmentally friendly, but it is also cost-effective.
